The best routes aren't always obvious.

High Route grew out of years spent building partnerships in conservation, philanthropy, and the outdoor world—and seeing the same challenge again and again.

Remarkable people were doing remarkable work. What they often lacked wasn't ambition or ideas, but the time, relationships, and infrastructure to find the partners who could help that work grow.

That's the gap High Route exists to fill.

Founded by David Taft, High Route brings more than a decade of experience in fundraising, partnerships, and environmental work to creators, organizations, and mission-driven ventures. David has built and managed multimillion-dollar philanthropic partnerships, worked alongside conservation and community organizations across the American West, and developed funding strategies connecting complex ideas with sophisticated institutional partners.

High Route brings that same approach to every engagement: understand the work, find genuine alignment, and build relationships designed to last.
